Rifle ID?

You and I both have 1893 Oveido mausers, at some time they were converted or rearsenalled to a Model 1916 standard, the most notable features included the addition of a gas port in the receiver to line up with the gas port in the bolt, and a thumb cut out. There was a further conversion that happened latter on when militaries around the world adopted the 7.62 NATO round, which we do not have to worry about. Spain wanted to go semi auto but could not produce enough, so to familiarize their troops with the new round, they took their existing bolt action and adapted them to the 308 CETME round, which ballistically was similar to the 300 savage and safe in the older 1893/model 1916 actions.
